Think I am kidding, uh? How would you like it if you were to wake-up
tomorrow and, by the grace of God, the country had totally abolished the IRS
and from here on out, you were spared the rigors of paying any more taxes ever
again? This would be, for most of us I
assume, cause for massive celebration - an unimaginably joyous and magnanimous
occasion probably inducing the largest party in the history of the nation, the
world maybe, bar none, would it not?
Well, the moment we have all been
fretfully waiting for might be closer to reality than we ever thought possible,
especially in light of the events now unraveling in the ongoing IRS scandal;
events, quietly paving the way for the notion of not paying taxes ever again,
taking a life of its own. At the heart
of it all, it's no other than our nefarious IRS admittedly targeting selected
political groups who had applied for tax exempt status based on intensive
scrutiny of names and/or political affiliations. Also at center stage of the soap-opera is IRS
officer and self-appointed femme-fatale Ms. Lois Lerner. In January 2006, Ms. Lerner
had been appointed as Director of Exempt Organizations for the IRS. In her newly appointed post, Lerner was
responsible for a broad range of compliance activities, including the
processing of applications for tax exemptions.
Pursuant to the protests of groups
targeted by IRS and after the start of some grim investigations by various
government groups, in May 2013, before the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee, Lerner admits to the IRS's complicity in the breaching of the law covered under Section 501(c)(4) of the
Internal Revenue
Code
(26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(4), exempting
certain types of non-profit organizations from having to pay federal income tax
by admitting to selectively rejecting applications based exclusively on their
political affiliations. Lerner's
admission of guilt was only followed by her refusal to testify on the
committee's probe of her role in the scandal invoking her Fifth Amendment
rights against self-incrimination, causing committee chairman, Rep. Darrell
Issa (R-Calif.), to dismiss the hearing amidst a labyrinth of controversies
centered around Lerner's potential waiving of her rights to the Fifth, by
virtue of having made an opening statement.
Later on, in 2014, the former Director of the
IRS Exempt Organizations is held in Contempt of
Congress for
her role in the 2013 IRS
controversy and her refusal to testify. To add insult to injury, on June 13th, 2014,
just like that, the IRS informs members of
Congress that Lerner’s hard-drive had crashed and that years worth of
her e-mails were permanently missing, prompting a series of congressional
hearings about the issue. IRS claimed
that Lerner's hard drive containing emails relevant to its audits of numerous
conservative groups had been destroyed, thus impeding the recovery of any
highly sensitive and potentially
incriminating material whatsoever. In
essence, IRS claimed that Ms. Lerner herself had lost the files as the emails
were on her own PC. Needless to say, the
mysterious if yet preposterously convenient disappearance of the most relevant
evidence in the case, did, justifiably so, stir all sorts of mistrustful
presumptions on the part of congressmen from both sides of the aisle.
Notwithstanding
the abundance of evidence all pointing to one of the most disgraceful and
shameful cover-ups chapters in the history of this great nation, I personally felt rather insulted by the
display of arrogance exemplified by IRS Commissioner, John Koskinen, while in
his two appearances in front of the Committee on Ways and Means held on Friday,
June 20th, followed by his appearance in front of the House Oversight
Committee, led by Chairman Darrel Issa, held on the evening of Monday June
23rd. Mr. Koskinen, came through as one
of the most repulsive characters in this "made-for-Hollywood"
drama - a despicable, supercilious and condescendingly disdainful individual,
who thought he could play mind-games with the inquirers of Congress' probing
panel, were it not for one of the most courageous displays of leadership and
integrity I have ever witness in my life time by Rep. John L. Mica from
Florida, Rep. John J. Duncan from Tennessee, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Rep.
Jason Chaffetz of Utah and Rep. Tray Gowdy from South Carolina, all of whom,
together with Chairman Issa, who
gracefully managed to grill and
discredit Mr. Koskinen as the later continued to show his contemptuous
disrespect for the congressmen.
Matter
of fact, everyone of us should pay tribute to this panel of great congressmen
for showing the world, there is good reason, after all, to be proud of being an
American. For those of you, privileged enough to have watched these hearings as
I did, the congressmen's interactions with the IRS Commissioner were, to say
the least, a true display of patriotic hope.
My everlasting gratitude to all of them for serving as an inspiration at
just about that time when all hopes for a cleansing of the Republic were
quickly dwindling away.
Just
in case you missed it, Mr. Koskinen's demeanor all throughout the hearings,
was, in essence, archetypal of what the Obama's administration and all its
cronies are all about - a contemptible band of liars and impostors used to
arrogantly presume, they can get away with just about anything in their whims,
as, so far, they have, and probably will again if judged by all the preceding
scandals, i.e., Fast and Furious, the Benghazi massacre, the Veterans
Administration scandal, etc. Strictly
from a legal vantage point, in just about any other administration in the
nation's history, a criminal admission of guilt by one of most powerful agencies in government would
have had sufficient probable cause for naming a Special Prosecutor to investigate the matter further, that is, were
it not for the fact that such a decision rests entirely in the hands of
Attorney General Eric Holder - himself one of Obama's leading
partners-in-crime, thus the insurmountable odds that this investigation will go
nowhere, as, once again, American's rights are disgracefully desecrated.
The
more the investigating committee probed into the events surrounding the scandal
throughout the hearings, the more filth we found. We learned of multiple
issues, each of which were, at worst, legally questionable actions undertaken
by IRS, and at best, outright breaches
of the law; including some premature leaks of information involving the White
House, all along as our esteemed President erratically chose to defend the
government agency by publicly claiming there was: "not even a smidgen of
corruption".
In
lieu of everything that has transpired, inevitably, all Americans should ask
themselves some fundamentally basic questions, such as: should Americans
continue paying taxes to the IRS? Should Americans continue trusting to place
their hard-earned dollars in a corrupted government agency? Ever stopped to think what would happen if it
was to be the other way around? What if
we, in our next IRS audit, were to tell the IRS's auditors that we simply had
lost the hard-drive of our PC, containing all relevant information regarding
our audit; that, [the] information they [IRS] were looking for had been
irretrievably lost.
The
answer to these and many other questions regarding American's future,
transcends, if you will, the IRS and VA scandals, Benghazi, Obamacare and all
others appurtenant to this administration. It will take more than just the
revamping of these organizations and/or issues; it will take, specifically, the
complete eradication, the complete abolition of Barack Hussein Obama and his
cadre of liberal misfits; it will take the demolition of the Socialist /
Communist model now being implanted in the hearts and minds of many Americans;
it will take the involvement of every single American of voting age, into the
current affairs of the nation; it will take our doing everything we can to
prevent Hillary Clinton from being the next U.S. president in 2016, as if she is,
we will merely be voting ourselves for more of
the same, albeit our collective understanding that we do not have any
more room for mistakes as that of electing another impostor to the highest post
in the land.
Not
ever in the great history of our nation, has capitalism and free-enterprise
been so close as being doomed to fail, as it has under the aegis of this
cultured charlatan by the name of Barack Obama; the aegis of a disciple of Saul
Alinsky - one of the U.S.'s leading hate-filled detractors of Satanic
provenance. The perils to our great
nation have been looming in the air since November 2008; looming in an aura of
deceit, deception and corruption, such as that of the IRS scandal.
To close, once
again, I dedicate this dissertation today to Rep. John L. Mica from Florida,
Rep. John J. Duncan from Tennessee, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Rep. Jason
Chaffetz of Utah and Rep. Tray Gowdy from South Carolina, and very especially
to Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), for
their incredible display of bravery and patriotism as they confronted
Commissioner Koskinen - one of Obama's
most relentless and arrogant puppets, ever.
Your conduct and leadership congressmen on behalf of a silent universe
of mainstream Americans incensed with all the ongoing scandals, is cause for
celebration; is cause for praise and, most of all, it will serve as an inspiration in the restoration of our nation
to its former glory. May God bless you
all and may God save America.
